According to a report from Agence France-Presse on February 15th, Turkish President Erdogan has postponed his planned visit to the United Arab Emirates on the 16th due to "health issues" faced by the UAE President Mohammed. However, the post announcing this news was quickly deleted. The post quoted by Turkish official media also stated that Erdogan "will determine the specific time for visiting the UAE in due course". However, this post was soon deleted, and the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation also removed information about Erdogan postponing his visit due to the "health issues" of the UAE President. The UAE news agency reported in a brief Arabic message that the two leaders had spoken, but did not mention the visit of the Turkish leader.
